 White House issued a statement of endorsement this week, just as Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) tried to quash the rumors that the Senate wouldn&#8217;t take up the bill if it passed the House.

My &#8220;blog&#8221; is a combination of factual info - bike count, locations, etc,  and my observations and emotions.  The rider &#8220;next to me&#8221; might see, feel and experience something different.  Like in Vietnam, we could be in the same battle but remember it [...]]]></description>
